Storm Front

[Verse 1]

Safe at harbor, everything is easy

Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast

Now I'm restless for the open water

Red flags are flying from the Coast Guard mast

They told me to stay, I heard all the information

I motored away and steered straight ahead

Though the weatherman said

[Chorus]

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)

White water running and the pressure is low

Storm front coming (mood indigo)

Small craft warning on the radio

[Verse 2]

I've been sailing a long time on this ocean

Man gets lonesome, all those years at sea

I've got a woman, my life should be easy

Most men hunger for the life I lead

The morning was gray, but I had the motivation

I drifted away and ran into more

Heavy weather off shore

[Chorus]

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)

White water running and the pressure is low

Storm front coming (mood indigo)

Small craft warning on the radio

[Verse 3]

We've got a low pressure system and a northeast breeze

We've got a falling barometer and rising seas

We've got the cumulonimbus and possible gale

We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufort scale

I'm still restless for the open water

Though she gives me everything I need

She asked me to stay, but I'd done my navigation

I drove her away, but I should have known

To stay tied up at home

[Chorus]

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)

White water running and the pressure is low

Storm front coming (mood indigo)

Small craft warning on the radio

There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)

White water running and the pressure is low

Storm front coming (mood indigo)

Small craft warning on the radio
